Tai chi is a form of wu shu, better known in America as kung fu. It is a slow movement, gentle martial art that promotes health, long life, relaxation and control - the control being defense and not hurting anyone. Tai chi uses the ying yang (positive and negative) philosophy to increase internal energy and help prevent illness. "You need both the movement and the philosophy to benefit. The students who really understand the philosophy and benefits of tai chi stay with it and continue to practice." "Tai chi is especially good for arthritis. It also helps to lower blood pressure, is good for digestion and gives you strong legs, which prevent falls." Excerpted from Movers and Shakers by Marilyn Dinardo. Quotations by Tom Huang.
